England into EURO 2024 quarter-finals after 120 dramatic minutes

FULL TIME!!! England won a hard-fought 2-1 victory over Slovakia. Jude Bellingham's injury-time goal saved the Three Lions from elimination. Slovakia deserve praise for their brave performance. England will face Switzerland in the quarter-finals - the team that just defeated former champions Italy. Minute 113: England pulled their squad deep to defend. Slovakia were still determined to attack, they quickly looked for opportunities but could no longer maintain their speed. Minute 106: The second half of extra time began. Minute 105: Pekarik was in a very favorable position from his teammate's cross but shot the ball over the bar. Minute 100: England are playing with a three-defender formation, with Saka at right-back and Eze on the left. Slovakia's fitness is clearly declining. Minute 91: The first half of extra time begins. Harry Kane rushes in to head the ball into the Slovakian net after a pass from Ivan Toney.

Full time! England and Slovakia go into extra time after a 1-1 draw in 90 minutes of regulation time. Minute 90+5: GOAL!!! Bellingham dives in to hook the ball, scoring a beautiful goal to equalize for England from a corner kick.

84th minute: Kobbie Mainoo leaves the field to make way for Eberechi Eze. 81st minute: Declan Rice takes a long shot from outside the box but the ball hits the post. 78th minute: Captain Harry Kane has an excellent header from Foden's free kick, but the ball goes wide.

75th minute: England have been awarded 7 corners in this match, so far Slovakia's ability to defend in the penalty area has been excellent. The Three Lions' set pieces have all been neutralized. 70th minute: Saka is now playing at left-back, while Palmer is operating on the right wing like he did at Chelsea. A bold adjustment by Southgate. 65th minute: Coach Southgate sends Cole Palmer on to replace Trippier. This is the first change for the Three Lions. 55th minute: Strelec observes Pickford has advanced so he shoots from midfield, unfortunately the ball goes wide of the post.

50th minute: Foden rushes in to finish from close range into the Slovakia net after Trippier's precise cross. The goal is ruled out because Foden was offside. 46th minute: The second half begins. END OF FIRST HALF!! Slovakia are temporarily leading 1-0. The Three Lions' reaction after conceding the goal has been very disappointing. They have yet to create any truly dangerous situations. The rare statistic that gives fans optimism is that England have won all three of their recent EURO matches when conceding first. 45+2th minute: Mainoo unleashes a daring shot from the edge of the box but the ball goes wide. There are 3 minutes of injury time in the first half. 35th minute: England have two consecutive corner kicks but neither player can finish. There is almost no space in the Slovakian defense.

25th minute: GOAL!!!! Ivan Schranz scores from a mistake by Walker. He breaks free from Guehi and beats Pickford easily. 24th minute: More chances are coming to England but the players are not creating a clear threat. 18th minute: England are no longer maintaining the pressure as in the first minutes, the midfielders are passing too many wrong passes.

Minute 12: The ball just passed the England goal, luckily Guehi was there in time to block. Minute 7: Mainoo received a yellow card after a tackle on Duda. Minute 3: Guehi received the first yellow card of the match. So if England go on to the quarter-finals, this defender will be absent.

23:00: The match begins!! Line-up:

Pre-match information Around 6,000 Slovakian fans are expected at Arena AufSchalke tonight, with England 's crowd estimated to be double that.

England qualified for the group stage as Group C winners. Despite remaining unbeaten at EURO 2024, a 0-0 draw with Slovenia has drawn a negative response from fans. Many pundits have criticised coach Gareth Southgate's squad. Despite possessing an expensive squad, the Three Lions' performance was lacklustre. Slovakia were clearly underestimated in this match. However, they cannot be underestimated as they defeated Belgium in the opening match. Coach Francesco Calzona and his team have received much praise for their beautiful and effective attacking style. Slovakia had a total of 37 shots, 13 of which were on target in the group stage, both of which are records for this team. It will not be easy to defeat the Three Lions, but the threat that Slovakia brings will be formidable.
